Weave Across America

In commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, the Thousand Islands Arts Center ~ Home of the Handweaving Museum is thrilled to announce a national juried call for Weave Across America — a collaborative coverlet project encouraging weavers and fiber artists to consider the symbolism of the American flag. What does the flag mean to you today, and how might you express these feelings in a textile? We invite weavers to submit your interpretation of what the American flag means to you in the language of handwoven cloth. Make your voice heard! This is an opportunity to become part of handweaving history for future generations.

Fiber artists across the United States are welcome to submit your work to be considered for inclusion in this unique, community-driven textile piece. Selected weavers will contribute individual pieces that, when assembled together, will form a single, unified coverlet representing the richness of American handweaving traditions, a celebration of the diversity, creativity, and skill of handweavers from coast to coast.
